San Yama Bujutsu Renmei

Three Mountains Martial Arts Federation

San Yama
Bujutsu Renmei was founded by Soke Dan McCaslin to serve as an
organization for like-minded martial artists to be able to share
information on training, business aspects of martial arts, and to also
serve as headquarters for rank examination and certification. Members
may train or teach in one of three categories. The first category is
percussion arts such as Kempo, Karate, Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwon Do, etc.
The second category of members is grappling styles such as JiuJitsu,
Judo, Aikido, Brazilian JiuJitsu, etc. The third category of members is
weapons stylists such as Okinawan Weapons, Filipino Weapons Arts,
Chinese Weapons, etc. These three categories constitute the "Three
Mountains". These three mountains are symbolic of the journey of the
martial artist to the summit of their particular art. Some schools may
teach in more than one of these categories but that is not required for
membership. A deep desire to learn and further your knowledge is
definitely required for membership.

The Three Mountains Martial Arts Federation has divisional heads who
will share input with the director. For example these divisional heads
may be Kempo division, Karate division, Jiujitsu division, Okinawan
Weapons division etc. New divisions may be added as necessary by vote of
the existing divisional heads. These divisional heads can also serve as
mentors to other martial artists in their particular specialty.

The director of TMMAF is Soke Dan McCaslin who has over 35 years of
martial arts experience. The hombu or headquarters of the organization
is the Richmond School of Karate in Richmond, KY.
